Soul Singer In a Session Band

Capo 1 


Refrão -------------
 C 
See the Soul Singer in the session band 
                                                G 
Shredded to ribbons beneath a microphone stand 
             C 
Felt the quickness of pity like a flash in a pan 
            F      G                   C 
For the Soul Singer in the session band

Vers 
C 
Now a red carpet bagger makes a Blackberry call 
           F                                  Am     G 
To the plastic piranhas in the city of salt 
             C 
Wasted wheat paste campaign post no bills on the wall 
                 F                                           G 
You mean nothing to no one but that's nobody's fault 

See the Soul Singer in the session band 
Shredded to ribbons beneath a microphone stand 
Felt the quickness of pity like a flash in a pan 
For the Soul Singer in the session band 


I had a lengthy discussion about The Power of Myth 
With a post-modern author who didn't exist 
In this fictitious world all reality twists 
I was a hopeless romantic now I'm just turning tricks 


Just like that Soul Singer in the session band 
Shredded confetti beneath a microphone stand 
Saw the Conflict of Interest slipping cash in the hand 
Of the Soul Singer in the session band 


His room is on fire since he painted it red 
There are a stranger's silk sequins at the foot of the bed 
He has been to weddings and funerals but he still never wept 
Now sorrow is pleasure when you want it instead 


Just like the Soul Singer in the session band 
Wailed like an infant atop a white baby grand 
We'll need every sand bag and every man 
To save the Soul Singer in the session band 


Headlights or Taillights it's a flip of a coin 
I have been coming and going since the day I was born 
And I followed the breadcrumbs but I never got home 
I grew old in an instant now I am all on my own 


C 
Just like that Soul Singer in the session band 
                                                                      G 
Shredded to nothing beneath a microphone stand 
             C 
Saw the wave of the future through the crack in the dam 
                  F      G                  C 
Drown the Soul Singer in the session band 
               F       G                  C 
Bless the Soul singer in the session band
